The Rescue

Walternate Universe – AAGM-44
 
Once we were inside the control room where our alternate was kept
The braces weren’t letting us teleport by some kind of glitch
“Damn it” I said as I tried to help and hold our weakened alternate
WAE said “We’re going to need to fight our way out of this bitch”
 
The Master kicked a door open, the Magnificent flew in the air
Then he threw some tiny magnets that clung to the ceiling and walls
When soldiers met us in the large ballroom their guns went flying
Anything metal would get stuck as we made our way down the halls
 
The Exiled and the Magnificent had experience with hand to hand combat
WAE tried to fight but many of these soldiers were way out of our class
“Tornado of Wicked Serpents, The Split of the Grappling Chin”’
We heard then turned and saw the Grand Master kicking major ass
 
“Fuck ‘em up” WAE yelled but suddenly took a punch to the gut
The Exiled came to his aid when we heard screams like a wild banshee
The Master was delivering crippling kicks to kneecaps and patellas
Their inverted bones, WAE and I said at the same time “The Negative Knee”
 
As we pushed our way through the palace we saw the dictator
He was on the second floor watching us from his balconies
He ordered his guards to shoot but the Magnificent had more magnets
And the Grand Master delivered more crippling “Negative Knees”
 
Suddenly the braces started registering a strange anomaly
Portals all around the city were opening and closing everywhere
Our braces started functioning again and that’s when WAE said
“Let’s get that asshole up there”
 
The Magnificent hurled a portal at us and we came out on the other side
We were standing behind the Dictator on the second floor balcony
“The Cunning Automation Life of the Knuckles” the Master yelled
Slaying six more guards then added “Coming up, another negative knee”
 
The Dictator tried to grab an axe that was stuck to the wall
But the metal was secure and WAE punched him in the gut
“This is for what you did to him” WAE said angrily
Then proceeded to give the Dictator a swift kick to the nuts
 
As he lay there in pain the Exiled came up from behind us
“You” the Dictator said to him “you’re that gardener, that Caretaker
You’re the one who burned down my house and took my children”
But the only thing the Exiled said was “prepare to meet your maker”
 
“No, not yet” the Magnificent said as he floated up to the second floor
“He’ll face the courts for everything he’s done” he added as he landed
“He’s had millions of people killed” the Exiled said “now he wants war”
“We’ll stop it! We’ll stop the device too” the Magnificent responded
 
Gunshots and explosions got louder throughout the city  
“By morning” the Dictator said “My entire army and air force will be here
Your portal devices soon will…” but the Exiled punched him hard in the face
Knocking the man out as blood came out from his nose and ears
 
“You took his children?” I asked, “is this why you’ve been exiled?”
“Men like him don’t deserve happiness or children” the Exiled replied  
“Yes, but it’s not your call man” I said “what did you do to them?”
“That’s none of your concern rookie” he screamed at me teary eyed
 
“Whatever comes for me will come for me for the things I’ve done
But this man is evil and Karma works too slow in my book” he said
“Guys chill” WAE cut in “look at the jumps happening around the city”
The Master joined us “cuff the dictator and let’s go see what lies ahead”
 
The five of us and our alternate who was too weak to walk came with us
We teleported to the palace steps and all the soldiers were gone
“What the fuck? Where’s everybody at?” WAE said with dread
“I don’t know” the Exiled said “but it’s only half hour until dawn”
 
The braces started logging hundreds of jumps throughout the city
Five to six per second, lightning-fast portals would appear and then disappear
The six of us looked at each other in amazement wondering who was doing it
Then the Magnificent smiled and said “It’s him…the Super Jumper is here…”
